So Early in the Morning [Italian translation]

The mate was drunk and he went below to take a swig at his bottle o

(Chorus)

So early in the morning the sailor likes his bottle o

The bottle o, the bottle o, the sailor loves his bottle o

A bottle of rum, a bottle of gin, a bottle of Irish whiskey o

(Chorus)

The baccy o, tabaccy o, the sailor loves his baccy o

(Chorus)

A packet of shag, a packet of cut, a plug of hard terbaccy o

(Chorus)

The lassies o, the maidens o, the sailor loves the judies o

(Chorus)

A lass from the 'pool, a girl from the Tyne, a chowlah so fine and dandy o

(Chorus)

A bully rough house, a bully rough house, the sailor like his rough house o

(Chorus)

Tread on me coat, and all hands in, a bully good rough and tumble o

(Chorus)

A sing song o, a sing song o, the sailor likes a sing song o

(Chorus)

A drinking song, a song of love, a ditty of seas and shipmates o

(Chorus)
